An Extraordinary Power.

Tie New York HcrqH Of yesterday
has very fair article on the Virginia
contempt cases-fairer than the WoriFs
silly and fippant comments upon the
same-but winds up by saying that, as
a new justice is to be appointed in Mr..
Justice WooD's stead who will have the
casting vote, cit Will be an extrlor-
binary power to fall into The hands of
one man." True enough; yet the
UcroM must recollect that that same
power was exercised by one man in the
Virginia coupon cases. The vote was
five TO four. One man decided all the
cases

Dear Sir,-President Cleveland's
Administration can scarcely be consid-
trtd proper object for the criticism Of
an CcclesiaStic. As such l am manly
concerned with the interestsof religion
and the spintual welfare OF the people !;
and cur Constitution most fittingly puts
those beyond the province Of our Gov
erument am not aware that Presi-
dent Cleveland has ever forgotten the
sacredncss of the domain of religion,
and hence his Administration has been
entirely satisfactory to me as a clergy
man-as Will always be that of any
President, of any political party, who
will equally respect the sacred rights Of
religion and conscience. Sincerely
yours, JOIN J. KEANE,
Bishop Of Richmond.

pONp's CROWNTNG OUTRAGE

Vireinia's degradation at the hands
of a petty, partisan Federal Judge would
seem to be complete. Her authority
as a sovereign State has been trampled
and spit upon, and her chief law officer
arrested, fined, and jailed 10y order Of
Judge Bond for obeying the laws Of
the State and disregarling an unwar.
ranted injunction OF his court. What
more is needed to cousummate her hu-
initiation
If Attorney-General Ayers can be
arrested, fined, aud imprisoned 10y a
Federal Judge for executing the laws of
the Commonwealth, why cannot Gov
eInor Lee be likewise arrested, fined,
aud imprisoned for the same offence !?
Why cannot the judges of the State
courts, including the judges of the
Cont Of Appeals, be also jailed for con
tempt of Judge Bonds authority? If
these outrs9es are permissible. what bar
or limit is there TO the jurisdiction Of
The Federal courts, and what protection
TO the liberties of the people exists
against their usurpstions?

TIC Republicans and Workingmen.
Senator GFoRGE FmsBE HoAH seems
to have a genius for laundering and
saying things that rtcoil upon him and
his party. His latest boomerang Is
the assertion that all tie ignorant voters
in the country are Democrats. In reply
to this the Boston Giojc says
"But this is only new rendering of
The Republican paIty's old boast that 1t
nonopoliZes the wealth, intelligence,
and virtue of the State and country. 1t
is true that tho workingmen OF the
North are mostly Democrats, but 1t Is
rot true that they are ignorant or Vi
cious, as Hoar and his fellow-lIepubll-
can dcmacogues assert. The greatest
ilht,racy Is among the colored people
of the South. Why doesn't Hoar
clauor for their exclusion from the
polls, or.agitate for poll-tax on their
ballots ? lie would if they were intel
ligcnt white men living in Massachu-
sets
There Is nothing more palpa6ly
hvuocritical and brazen-iaced than the
assertion Of the Republican leaders thai
their party is the guardian of the
rights and interests Of the worlingman
In some portions Of New England espc-
cially, the poor man, if he Is not viz
tually DISTINGUISHED owing to the eX-
istcnce of a property or poll-tax which
has to he paid before he can vote, is
forced TO vote as his Republican EN-
ployer may dictate The Republican
employers and Republican leaders act
on Senator HoAR's theory that the work
ingman is too ignorant to be allowed to
think for himself. In Virginia non
payment Of the polltaX does not dis
franchise. If it did even the counties
in the Black Belt, where there are not
enough white MALONE Republicans to
officer the negroes, would be safe for
the Democrats. The logic of the posi-
ton of the Republican leaders on this
question is that a poorman educated in
New England public school is, if he
happens to be a Democrat, less com
petent to exercise the right of suffrage
than the most bGotian and illiterate
corn field negro in the South.
